Ethical Design Leadership
Design is human (and consequently imperfect). Design requires ethical decisions about when to start and stop. And design appropriately addresses problems where a single choice is insufficient. Ethical interior design leadership requires us to define our values, make decisions based on these values, and lead by taking on the hard problems. What we celebrate, how we present our discipline and profession, and why we advocate for people (and the planet) implicitly reveal our ethical frameworks. How we define problems exposes our values. When we choose to start and stop solving problems matters.
